Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish has revealed his pride at the progress of fellow countryman Andy Robertson at Anfield.

The Scotland left-back has quickly become a firm favourite of manager Jurgen Klopp and supporters alike following a string of polished performances.

He’s set to be one of the first names on Klopp’s team-sheet for Tuesday’s Champions League semi-final against Roma and Dalglish believes the former Queen’s Park and Dundee United prospect deserves every accolade coming his way.

Dalglish said: "Andy has been fantastic ever since he came in. I’m sure he was Man of the Match on his debut.

“Everyone in Scotland should be very, very proud of him.

“You only need to come to a game to sense the respect the punters have for him. They really enjoy watching Andy and he has his own chant already, which I know means a lot to him.

“Andy’s a quality player. He has pace, his final ball is excellent and he plays with his heart on his sleeve.

“It gives me a lot of satisfaction to see him flying the flag for Scotland.”
